Chapter 460: Wait!
After fixing the wedding date, the butler from the Yinguo mansion angrily left with the two remaining Mystic Martial Realm experts.
The students of the Imperial Academy heaved sighs of relief. “These events were outside of my expectations. Lou Xiaoxiao didn’t have to follow them, and on top of that, this fellow is still alive!”
“A really unexpected ending. This fellow is interesting.”
All the students could not help themselves from looking at An Shaoning.
After tidying his robe, An Shaoning walked toward Lou Xiaoxiao with a calm expression. “Let’s go. Bring me to your academy to have a look.”
“...” Lou Xiaoxiao glanced at him and nodded. Thereafter, she and the Lou family juniors took him and entered the academy. The other students of the Imperial Academy also dispersed after looking at their fading backs.
When she reached her residence, Lou Xiaoxiao could not help herself. She asked, “An Shaoning, why did you propose to delay the marriage? Even if we have another seven days, nothing would change.”
An Shaoning rubbed his forehead. “I’ll make a trip to the An family a while later. I hope that they will come forward, but if they are unwilling... let’s think of a way to leave. However, Third Prince and the Yinguo Mansion will definitely send people to guard the academy’s entrance. We may not be able to leave... So, we can only wait.”
“Wait?”
“Right, wait! Xiaoxiao, before I came here, I heard someone in Liuyun Prefecture say that Miss Qianxue had appeared there before. If it’s really her, then we will be safe.”
“Qianxue?” Lou Xiaoxiao froze for a while. She asked in a trembling voice, “How... How’s it possible? Could it be that she’s still alive?”
“It’s highly possible. Furthermore, I even heard that Teacher Mo recruited her into the Imperial Academy. Hence, no matter what, she’ll definitely come to the Imperial City before the end of the month.”
“No!” Lou Xiaoxiao suddenly became agitated. “She can’t come! The Imperial city is filled with dangers. She can’t come!”
“Xiaoxiao, I trust Miss Qianxue.” A light of wisdom flickered in An Shaoning’s eyes. “I don’t know whether you still remember. But, two years ago, Miss Qianxue swore in front of Lou Xingchen that she would come to the Imperial city and level the Zhu family within three years.”
An Shaoning paused before continuing, “Even if we forget this bet, Miss Qianxue won’t! Since she won’t forget it and she even dared to accept Teacher Mo’s invitation to come to the Imperial city, we can be sure that she’s prepared to face the powerful Zhu family...
“The Zhu family is much more powerful than the Yinguo Mansion. Since Miss Qianxue is not even afraid of the Zhu family, why would she be afraid of the Yinguo Mansion?”
“But there’s still Third Prince behind the Yinguo mansion.”
“I remember that Miss Qianxue has Heavenly Martial Realm experts behind her... No matter what, Xiaoxiao, Miss Qianxue is definitely on her way to the Imperial city. Once she enters the Imperial city, she won’t turn a blind eye to your matter. Let’s bet on this!”
Lou Xiaoxiao tightly furrowed her eyebrows. Her mood was extremely complicated.
She had not seen Lou Qianxue for two years, so she wanted to see her as soon as possible. However, at the same time, she was afraid to implicate Lou Qianxue in her matters.

The news of Lou Qianxue’s ‘Alchemy battle on the street’ and the battles at the ‘life-or-death battle stage’ swiftly spread in Lingxi Prefecture.
“Have you heard about it? An extremely powerful young lady came to our Lingxi Prefecture. She has an Abnormal Fire with her, and she even killed a fourth-grade alchemist in an alchemy battle!”
“What? An abnormal Fire? Where did this young lady come from? She’s so impressive!”
“It’s not just this. What’s more impressive is that she subsequently took part in the battles at the life-or-death battle stage. She went from being an unknown person to someone who’s now at the 52nd position on the list of outstanding people in this world!”
“Oh gosh! The list of outstanding people in this world! It can’t be! Only a ‘1000-point warrior’ can make it into this list!”
“You don’t know about this. This young lady bypassed the levels of challenges in the life-or-death battle stage. Moreover, she consecutively defeated all the ‘1000-point warriors’ in the entire battle stage! She is now the only ‘1000-point warrior’ who’s still alive in our Lingxi Prefecture!”
“She defeated three ‘1000-point warriors’!!! Oh my gosh! This is too demonic! Did she come here to attend the Alchemy Competition? If she really participates in the competition, will the others have any way to survive?”
